+# This file is a template for a Cargo workspace for developer convenience.
+#
+# Since Cargo resolves all features for all crates in the workspace together, 
+# it is not possible to have a workspace with all the crates together, since they
+# enable incompatible features. For example, nrf crates enable embassy-macros/nrf
+# and stm32 crates enable embassy-macros/stm32. embassy-macros doesn't support having
+# both of these features on at the same time, because it makes no sense.
+#
+# Instead, we provide this template so you can enable only the crates you're going to
+# work on. This makes eg rust-analyzer check-on-save and autocomplete work, but only 
+# in these crates, without any feature conflict.
+#
+# Copy this file to `Cargo.toml` and uncomment one group of crates below.
+#
+# `/Cargo.toml` is already in .gitignore, so you don't commit it accidentally.
